Captain: Lynn Griffiths

Captain Lynn Griffiths - English - Owner Operators

Lynn was born in Cheshire but spent all her time by the sea in a small coastal town in North Wales. From as early as she can remember she was on the water in some boat or another. Aged 14 she acquired her first 16ft speed boat which was in need of some TLC. Lynn removed all the yellow paint taking the hull back to bare Aluminium and restored it in beautiful Flag Blue. Her father had a successful construction company and as a schoolgirl Lynn kept the books for the family business. This led to a degree in accountancy following which she started a professional career as a Chartered Accountant. Lynn has worked in senior finance positions for some of the World's biggest Insurer's, such as Euler International, Endurance Worldwide & Groupama. Based in the City of London she travelled all over Europe and specialised in setting up from scratch new Insurance Companies. After work she loved her TVR sports car and golf. She was also a qualified aerobics instructor and in the evenings after work she taught aerobics for 12 years. For her vacations Lynn loved to travel to the Far East, Middle East, and golf courses all over Florida; always taking to the water wherever possible.

Her busy career took her away from her first love of sailing but since 2001 she's been back on the water qualifying with an "MCA Master 200 tons" licence and an "RYA Commercially Endorsed Yacht Master" ticket for sailing vessels and has been sailing full time for many years, most of the time as Skipper of medium to large yachts. She owned her first yacht in the UK for four years (a lightweight Scandinavian built racer called Temptress) and cruised and raced her extrensively up and down the south coast of the UK. She's raced seriously at regatta's such as Cowes Week, Cork Week, Antigua Race Week & St Maarten Heineken Regatta. She's sailed on a 100ft Wally up and down the Caribbean and a large Oyster from Ireland across the Mediterranean to Croatia. Lynn was a Rear Commodore of the Little Ship Club, the oldest sailing club in the City of London. Along with social activites and club cruises she also organised popular weekend racing. She started a winter racing series that encouraged members back onto the water and re-vitalised the club.

Lynn has intimate knowledge gained from years of experience of both Caribbean and Mediterranean sailing which includes both island cruising and full on racing. Lynn and Mark met at Antigua Race Week in 2004 and have been sailing ever since. Since purchasing Pacific Wave in June 2008 she has been sailing with Mark full time, travelling up and down the Caribbean every year fro Puerto Rico to Trinidad.

Lynn is a keen diver and underwater photographer and is a qualified PADI Divemaster.

When not sailing or diving she is a keen golfer and accomplished horsewoman she has an uncanny ability to find the best anchorages close to the best golf courses and the best stable yards.

Chef Mate: Mark Miles

Chef: Mark Miles

Mark's home county of Dorset in SW England was a good place to grow up and become involved in both sea and farming and, after his partner Lynn, it's not surprising that his main passions are sailing and food. Mark's adventures started early, aged 18 he did his first big sailing trip - 1300 miles in an old C&N sloop from Lymington on the south coast UK to northern Spain and back. Also at the age of 18, and travelling alone, he walked 5,000 miles from Cape Town South Africa to Cairo Egypt. It took seven months, cost $300, and included being arrested for spying in Uganda! After this and some time running around in the British Army it was a welcome rest to go to college aged 24 and study Agriculture. While there he found enough spare time to become elected President of the Students Union… campaigning tirelessly for cheaper beer. After college he was a shepherd for large flocks of sheep in southern England and then he farmed in southwest Portugal, growing vegetables and raising sheep. He was a Royal Bath & West of England scholar, travelling to Australia and New Zealand to study problems with drug resistance in sheep flocks. After 6 years in Portugal he returned first to the Isle of Wight and then Cambridge, but travelled all over the world to buy produce and then sell it to UK supermarkets. He spent his free time dinghy sailing and racing at Grafham Water and on the Suffolk coast - and flying. Mark has been an aeroplane pilot for over 20 yrs and he likes to bring the discipline of flying to his everyday job as a professional sailor. In 2003 Mark returned to the Isle of Wight and went sailing full time but kept his toe in the agricultural water with sweet corn in Hereford and Christmas turkeys in Marlow. He now holds an "MCA Master 200 tons Unlimited Area" licence and "RYA commercially endorsed Ocean Master" tickets, both for sailing and power vessels. Mark learned to dive age 13 in Malta and then with the British Sub Aqua Club. He dived wherever in the world his work happened to take him and he is a PADI Divemaster.

He speaks Portuguese and gets along well in Spanish and French. Mark's previous career in agriculture brought him close to food preparation as well as food production and he has worked on road shows with some of the most renowned celebrity Chefs of today. His style is tinged with global influences but mix Southern Mediterranean light cooking with classic cuisine and an intimate knowledge of quality fresh local ingredients.

Pacific Wave won 2nd place as Best Monohull at the Tortola Charter Yacht Show & Chef Mark Miles took 1st place in the Chef Competition at the St. Thomas Charter Yacht Show. Mark also took 2nd at the Antigua Charter Yacht Show Concourse du Chef.

The boat is beautiful.We knew we had picked theright one when people on other yachts came by just to photograph us.

The BVI lived up to the hype.We particularly liked the quieter anchorages on Norman and JVD, and the kids loved the secret beach you took us to on Virgin Gorda.The color of the water blew us away and we now have two enthusiastic young divers.Other vacation destinations just won’t compare – or have so many fish!

The cuisine was just the right mix for our active family – clean, fresh, healthy and delicious.The kids ate fish and loved it – they never eat fish!And l know I’llever be able to even poach eggs to the standard they’ve now become used to.Lunches were light but filling, and dinners well presented and tasty without being unnecessarily fancy.Good job chef!

The crew obviously know the area and where to go.We’ve done the BVI a lot but Lynn and Mark showed us a side we hadn’t seen before – picture postcard anchorages with just the pelicans for company.It was exactly what we had been hoping for.

Thanks guys for a great week onboard the awesome Pacific Wave.We’ll be back!”

Thank you so much for making our honeymoon aspecial treat that we will remember forever.I was a little nervous of the sailing, as l haven’t done as much as myhusband, but you guys were awesome.Ilearnt so much and we both had a fantastic time.I even took the wheel and loved it!Such a feeling of power J

The BVI was beautiful, even though things lookeda little mashed up in places.We enjoyedsnorkelling and your expert guidance on where to go and what we might see madeit extra special.

And the food!Just amazing what came out of that tiny kitchen.It was all delicious.

A lovely week, made so by your every attention, your good company and not to be overlooked Mark’s cuisine. To have found the BVI after Irma was, from our entirely selfish perspective, delightful, yet tempered by the knowledge that many suffered and lost. That said, to have seen these pretty islands uncrowded and at natures own ease, was of particular pleasure. Pacific Wave is a lovely boat.

A few words cannot do justice to the great timeswe had aboard Pacific Wave.However, inan attempt to doso… thank you for a great, fantastic, wonderful & relaxing time during our honeymoon week!The food and the drink were on par, if not better than Michelin 3 stars.The rum punch is the best on the islands.

We enjoyed being on a true, gorgeous sailboat& your handling of her.You bothknew the best places to go both above and below the water.The turtles were the highlight of Brooke’stime snorkeling, and Lynn’s knowledge of the local marine life was outstanding.

Dear Lynn and Mark,

This was our first trip on a sailboat and in the BVI/UVSI. You made our trip memorable from the snorkelling in the caves, to the delicious food, and wonderful beaches. We could not have asked for a more experienced couple to make us feel comfortable and safe. We will never forget these memorable 8 amazing days sailing!

PS thanks for the pancakes

PPS Mom and Dad love the coffee

Much love Katie – age 11

Well as usual, Katie had the last word! Thank you, thank you, thank you. After decades of dreaming of sailing in the BVI, we’ve just watched it all come true these past 8 days.

We truly hope our paths cross again – either in these beautiful islands or maybe up north sometime. Safe travels always and please keep in touch.

What a fabulous week!We could not have asked for two moreexperienced and knowledgeable pairs of hands to charter us through the BritishVirgin Islands.And what a comfortableand well appointed boat to do it in – we had no idea our accommodations wouldbe so luxurious!

We loved all the quiet anchorages off the beatentrack that you took us to.We allenjoyed boating and swimming off the boat.The kids learned to snorkel and kayak and are all quite pleased they gotto drive the dinghy.And as we saidevery day, the food was amazing!Themeals far surpassed our expectations and were graciously served everytime.The kids told us that we need to“bump it up” when we get home!

Gary has been talking about sailing in the BVIfor some 25+ years and we will now all have our own memories of crystal bluewater, white sand beaches, sunny skies and wind in your face as you sail acrossthe waters.

Thank you for helping to make this a wonderfuland memorable experience for our family!

Dear Lynn and Mark,

Thank you so much for the wonderful trip! It’s not easy keeping 2 adults and 3 teenage boys happy but you did it! We had great weather and had great sails and fabulous snorkeling. Saw so many cool fish l can’t even begin to list. And Mark prepared delicious meals everyday, which we ate hungrily after our snorkeling adventures. A great experience had by all!

Thanks again.

Sarane, Peter, Ross, Ian & Colin – Rhinebeck, NY

This was one of my favourite trips. My favourite part was the spotted eagle ray. It was about 6 ½ feet long but a gentle giant. It was so pretty and it went in circles around me for 10 mins.

We cannot thank you enough for sharing the Pacific Wave with Todd & me – what a wonderful, much needed, relaxing time for us!

You are both such gracious hosts! The food & drinks were wonderful & we appreciated learning more about the history of the islands. We cannot wait to share our memories back home with family & friends!!!

Thanks again

Two couples on PACIFIC WAVE in early December, 2016, say:

Dear Lynn & Mark

Our week with you was amazing. This was one of my bucket list, and the first big trip (many more to come) for Cindia and me. The beauty, the soft winds, the amazing dinners and lunches, and (gasp) breakfasts you served were great! Now for 2 months of dieting.

We hoped to have good diving, and you arranged a special and more expensive outfit, that was just great! Cindia and l loved ourdiving, so beautiful.

Your kindness, warmth and good humour were just incredible. Thank you so much for a fabulous week!”

What a week! You have spoiled us rotten – the sails, the seas, the food, the laughs – we couldn’t have asked for a better way to ‘sail’ into 2016 thank you! Your knowledge and expertise of sailing and all of the secret spots and coves in the BVI’s made for a wonderful week. We loved stargazing with that alien machine – we will surely be talking about that device for years.

We were honoured to have had the chance to read excerpts from Mark’s book – what an incredible adventure! We look forward to reading it in print someday soon!! We hope you have a happy, healthy 2016. Hope to see you both soon,

“Dear Lynn & Mark Our second cruise on the beautiful Pacific Wave & every bit as good as thefirst cruise, if not better! It’s hard to find words to express how you haveboth made this holiday just amazing.

“Lynn & Mark It takesa special crew to make a week in the BVI’s special to our 89year old father. Wecannot thank you enough for your patience throughout the week with an elderly‘old salt’. My father was most impressed with Lynn’s sailing skills. To quote‘she’s a hell of a skipper!’ Mark of course made his mark in our memory as alaid-back chef of considerable talent. To sum up, there would be no othervessel other than the Pacific Wave that could have made our time in the BVI’sas special as it was. Furthermore, my father’s time in the BVI’s (1950’s,1960’s, 1970’s) was the reason we took the trip. His happiness for returningone more time cannot be overstated! Thanks to you both for an incredibleexperience.

Ditto to my bro’scomments! Lynn & Mark were the perfect fit for us. Could not have beenbetter at making sure 89 year old dad felt at ease! Loved your local knowledgeand insight into the islands and creatures that live here! The meals –INCREDIBLE!! Such special memories for all 4 of us. This has been a dream cometrue for my dad. To be sailing these islands with his 3 kids. Lynn & Markare superb hosts. Their knowledge of the island, local flora & fauna andstories of their years of cruising these waters made each day a new andinteresting experience. Not easy to sail with such an ‘old croc’ (as my dadcalls himself) but they were patient, gracious and attentive. Truly anexperience to be treasured!”

Hi Lynn & Mark, Vinceemailed me with the following glowing report about his charter with you (belowin italic). You obviously did an over-the- top job to make this "the bestvacation of their lives"! It's been an absolute pleasure working with you and I'll try and send some further business your way soon.

Thank you, Lynne -----

"It was the bestvacation of our lives!

It was the best sailing wehave ever done and we have sailed all over the world. I have been sailing for 53 years and my wife for 35 years. We took turns day by day and did most of thesailing. We covered a hundred miles. Based on the vacation we are buying another boat. I am retiring next year and we are going to sail from San Diegoto Seattle and Vancouver where we have family and friends and then to Hawaii and Tahiti

We are buying a new IslandPacket 485(52’) Thanks for all your help in setting this up I am recommendingthe cruise to several couples here at work

Thanks again Vince &Jan"

“To Lynn & Mark Mywife and l have been sailors all our lives. This is the best sailing we haveever done. The boat is awesome. The weather was fantastic. Every meal onPacific Wave was perfect. Lynn & Mark are top notch sailors. Probably thebest owner operator team we know of for chartering. I have sailed all over theUS, Europe, Hawaii and off western Canada, but my wife, Jan and l like the BVIthe best so far. This was such a great experience it convinced us to buy a newboat ourselves.”

Hi Lynn & Mark Thank you very much. The Waldrons wrote glowingly about their cruise with you on Pacific Wave...

"Wonderful trip...Boat was great, accommodations really comfortable, food was excellent... Lynnand Mark made us very much at home, and we really enjoyed cruising the BVI...we had been there before at a resort, but being in various anchorages really was enjoyable, and the sailing was something different for us, and we all learned a little bit. Everything we had hoped for....

Regards, Jeff"

“Lynn & Mark What afabulous week of experiencing the BVI onboard Pacific Wave! We came having hadall the “resort” experiences, and were hoping to have a different kind ofvacation, and l can truly say our expectations were exceeded. The two of youmade our stay so comfortable, with the fabulous food (thanks Mark), the greataccommodation, and all the fun activities. As a family, the chance to spendtime together in such beautiful surroundings, without the distraction of home,has been a gift. I know the snorkelling that the boys did will be somethingthey will remember forever... and Shane will certainly relish being rummychamp! For Wendy & Myself, l think being able to sit and enjoy the solitudeand surroundings of all the great anchorages was a highlight, and aninspiration to get even more out of our motor boat at home! Thanks Lynn forgoing horseback riding with Wendy, a trip would not be complete without a hack!Maybe next time we will play golf instead though! Most of all thanks for makingus feel so welcome onboard Pacific Wave, & for sharing your knowledge andexperiences with us. Hope to see you up our way in Long Island Sound!”

“To Lynn & Mark An amazing week and a half sailing the BVI. The food is amazing – probably the best chef in the BVI is on the Pacific Wave. But also the willingness to entertain two beach bums trawling the bars of the BVI. Brilliant to sail such a beautiful big boat with all the other boats taking pictures. Thanks Mark for teaching me to snorkel. Mel has done some of her best diving on the Rhone withLynn. Don’t want to get off.”

Upon arriving to thePacific Wave we saw a beautiful yacht. Upon leaving, we saw it as that and somuch more. We saw times of laughter, gourmet foods, exciting destinations, daysof sailing adventures, fun explorations, and the gentle waves of the sea.

We willforever remember the great times, delicious desserts, and awesome crew of thePacific Wave xxx”
